Last month saw the conclusion of another successful GolfSixes season with the All-Ireland Final at Grange Golf Club in Dublin. The All-Ireland Final brought together each of the Regional Qualifiers and saw Tramore Golf Club crowned national champions on a memorable day of golf.

Golf Ireland would like to take this opportunity to thank The R&A and THE GOLF FOUNDATION for their continued support of the GolfSixes concept.
